check out the Lawnton pads to fill in the mids. If I didn't get the LCD-2's I would have most likely got the D7000. I owned the D5000 for a while.

That's quite a lot of money for those pads. I wouldn't mind bringing the mids a touch forward but I also wouldn't want to change the bass in the least. For me, the price of admission is just too high.

yeah the price is high, second hand jmoney pads might be an option. Also stuffing pads might help bring the mids forward. You can see the difference with the Jmoney pads at innerfidelity, I thought they would have had the lawnton pads also tested on their site by now...

I did end up buying them and they cost me $627 used from a seller on Amazon.

you got the pads and lawnton mods?

If I do, it will have to wait for another day as I can't really afford to spend more than I already have. Besides as for now, I am really enjoying the sound as is. To me, the difference between the D-5000's and the D-7000's is pretty noticeable and I like them A LOT more. The most noticeable think i can tell is that the treble has smoothed out a lot and the D7000's don't have the harshness that the D5000's do. Other than that I think I most agree with KG Jags description in that they do everything a little better than the D5000's. I do like the tighter bass though and that's one reason why I may end up getting them markl modded so maybe I can tighter it up a bit more. All in all, extremely happy with the purchase and they came in very good condition.
